glory and gore

her wand was broken years ago, and the one she stole from a man in st. petersburg was only capable of so much. selene wasn’t someone who allowed herself to be limited. when she had tried to go to ollivander’s she quickly realized the store was closed for the evening (really businesses need to start thinking about their night time customers, she was lucky to be as comfortable in the sun as she was, not many of her kind could say the same) so she had to find someone to help. after asking around quite a few patrons of the alley, she discovered one employee was still enjoying their drink. 

the leaky cauldron was too loud for her taste, and it brought back too many memories. of him, her nikolai. it was all a bit much for selene her ears already ringing from the noise of everyone, and the smell and temptation leaving that familiar itch in the back of her throat. the advantage of being around her own kind was she didn’t have to pretend to be something better then she was. when selene heard them call out to her, it was a relief to having something to focus on in the sea of stimulation. “no, i can’t say i enjoy this place much at all.” she explained a polite smile rising to her face hoping the slight visibility of fangs wouldn’t scare them. “i was actually, i know the shop is closed for the evening but i am in desperate need of a wand. i heard you might be able to help?”

will watched her carefully, it wasn’t the first time someone had gone out of their way to find them and beg for them to open the wand shop. it wasn’t really their choice when to open and close, ollivander ran a tight ship, but sometimes they could figure out an exception if they needed to. “ah.” will nodded, giving her a once over and a smile. 

It took a moment for Knox to recognize the person calling out to her. She looked around the pub before her eyes landed on a familiar female near the bar, smirking at her. While she was familiar, Knox could only guess the woman knew her from school while Knox herself had forgotten nearly half of her schoolmates. So, it was quite the surprise when someone even remembered her, “Actually I come here, sometimes,” She stated cautiously as she neared the bar, “Clearly not often enough.”

Parvati had just closed the shop and was still shaken by the banishing of dementors. She did not feel like going home quite yet. She would make a stop by the leaky cauldron first and see if there was a familiar face to have a beer with or if she could join some debates. The pub was always buzzing with life and one never knew who you could encounter.

 She was surprised when Wilona spoke to her. It took her a few seconds to remember them from school. She assumed it was why the other seemed familiar enough. ❝ Well things change. ❞ She offered her companion a half smile. ❝ But this place doesn’t. ❞ It was comforting in a way.  ❝ I wasn’t but  perhaps it was fate. ❞ Parvati had read her tea leaves on the morning and it had indicated that she would have an interesting meeting. ❝ And I don’t want to go home.  ❞    

while wilona wasn’t surprised that parvati had taken a moment to remember them, they had a knack for remembering faces and thinking they played a much bigger part in people’s lives than they did, will was pleased she decided to stay. “i understand that.” will nodded in agreement to parvati’s sentiment about not wanting to go home. it was always a bit more lonely than they liked to admit. 

times were challenging, much like they had been in previous years but wilona didn’t dwell too much on either thought. no instead, they leaned against the familiar bar, knowing they should be putting their time to good use somewhere else, but somehow the leaky cauldron had always felt like home in a way. not much in a way that their parents were very much approving of, but they had learned to drown them out years ago.
